Posters

Here are the other two posters created by my group



We have decided to use the first image to advertise our radio drama in the Radio Times. We have decided to use this as we think it portrays the drama itself very well. It also looks professional, and features the 3 characters

The Placement Dates

I have arranged the placement of my adverts in a particular order to entise the audience

The Poster

I have decided that the poster will be featured in the Radio Times on 14th July 2011. I also want my poster to appear in places where my target audience would be such as town centres, schools, university etc. This will give my poster maximum chance of being seen by my target audience. Also, I have choosen this date because as it is summer time, it means students will not be in school, college or university so they will have more free time on their hands to read into magazines such as the Radio Times.

Double Page Feature



My feature page will be places in The Radio Times on July 31st 2011. This is a week after the poster would have been placed, I have choosen such a short window gap for the next release due to keeping my target audience interested.

The Radio Drama

After all the advertisements have been placed, the radio drama itself will be released on the 7th August. This is also a week after the last advertisement placement. I have decided to do this simply to keep the target audience interested and to ensure the radio drama recieves as much attention as it possibly can

Final Version - Magazine Feature

Ancillary Task 2 - Designing My Feature Page

After researching into many different feature pages, I have decided that I want to include a "behind the scenes" section. This section is going to focus on the actors themselves, discussing the production of the up coming release, their experiences and a peek into their own lives. Again, I have to consider my target audience, which is young people aged 18 to 25. Therefore, I want to include "fun" images of the actors to keep the readers interested.
Here are a few ideas for images that I could possibly use to portray the young actors.


Firstly I took these photos, cropped them and "Auto Coloured" them in Photoshop.

After looking at existing features in the Radio Times, I designed a layout, followed it and my own feature page began to look like this.
I felt that a strong bold colour was needed in order to attract the audience, and decided that i neeeded more red within the feature. Therefore, I decided to use the other version of the car image.

After altering the colours on the page and including the edited images I think that this feature page works very well.
